PUMP-BUCKET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters PatentNo. 284,048, dated August28, 1883.

Application iiled Apiil 7, 1983.

(No model.)

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, TnEoDoRE C. MUNGEE, a citizen of the United States,residing at Cedar Rapids, in the county of Linn and State of 5 Iowa,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pump-Buckets, ofwhich the following is a speciiication, referencebeing` had therein tothe accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to certain improve- 1o ments in pump-buckets; andit has for its objects to provide a bucket which will be simple andinexpensive in construction, which can Vbe easily repaired, and whichwill not expand or contract or otherwise lose its shape while in i 5use. l

The above-1nentioned objects I attain by the means illustrated in theaccompanying drawing, in which is represented a vertical sectional Viewof a pump-bucket constructed ac- 2o cording to my invention.

In the drawing, the letter A indicates the body of my pump-bucket, whichis constructy ed of wood` or other non-metallic material of frustu'mshape, and provided with `a central 25 vertical aperture. The upperouter edge of the said body is rabbeted annular-ly, forming a seat forthe flanged anuulus B.

The letter C indicates a iianged annulus, within which the lower portionoi' the body of 3o the bucket sets. The outer edge of the said lowerannulus is about the thickness of the leather packing to be secured tothe outside of the bucket. rIhese annuli are preferably constructedY ofmetal, and are provided with 3 5 apertures C', through which theclampingbolts D pass, the body ofthe bucket being provided withcorresponding apertures, E, for the pas sage of said bolts. The boltsare curved at their upper ends and provided with shanks E, between whichis secured the lower end of the 4o pu1np-rod Gr by means of thetransverse bolts H. v rlhe upper and lower annuli are clamped to theirustum-shaped body of the bucket by means of the nuts I, secured to thelower ends of the vertical bolts D. The 'portion of the 45 body of thebucket on the outside forms aseat for the packing K, which is secured tosuoli exposed portion ofthe body by means oi' nails or other fasteningdevices, which are driven into the wood. The upper annulus, if found 5onecessary, may be provided with openings through its dange, throughwhich nails or fastening devices may be driven, if required, to furthersecure the packing. The valve of the bucket is secured to the body inthe usual 5 5 place.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is

A pump-bucket consisting of a hollow non 6o metallic i'rustum, A, havingan oblique rabbet at its upper edge, an upper coniining-annulus,

O', having an oblique iiange, and a lower aul nulus, C, a packingsecured to the outside of the non-metallic portion, and the bifurcated65 extensions of the pump-rod, and the coniining screws, all arrangedsubstantially as and for the purposes speciiied..

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
